The first Motorola Edge (2025) discount is here to make a solid value proposition even better
With an undeniably gorgeous design, a sharp quad-curved P-OLED screen, an almost surprisingly robust construction (for such a stylish handset), and a respectable but far from impressive MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, the Motorola Edge (2025) is... probably not the best Android phone money can buy today. At the right price, however, the newest US-only member of the popular Motorola Edge family might be one of the greatest budget 5G phones around. And if $549.99 didn't feel quite right, perhaps $499.99 will hit the spot. Now, I realize $50 may not sound like an earth-shattering discount (especially for bargain hunters familiar with Amazon and Best Buy deals on older Motorola products), but for such a young (and physically attractive) smartphone, it will have to do, at least for the time being.
$50 off (9%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 6.7-Inch P-OLED Display with 2712 x 1220 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Processor, Android 15, 50 + 10 + 50MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 50MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,200mAh Battery, 68W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Support, IP68 and IP69 Water and Dust Resistance, Military-Grade Durability, Vegan Leather Finish, Pantone Deep Forest Color Buy at BestBuy
As you can imagine, this is the first ever Motorola Edge (2025) promotion offered by a retailer like Best Buy, and no, Amazon and the handset's manufacturer cannot match the $50 price cut at this time. You don't need to activate your new 6.7-inch device on a specific US carrier to save that money, mind you, or jump through any other hoops. You also don't have to be a My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total member to take advantage of the unprecedented offer despite what may seem like suspicious timing on the retailer's part. At $499.99 with no strings attached, the Motorola Edge (2025) is... still not a perfect phone, going directly up against a Google Pixel 9a, for instance, that promises superior long-term software support while sporting a much smaller display and a far less impressive build. If that doesn't already sound like a tough enough choice, our Motorola Edge (2025) review makes it crystal clear - this is an absolute stunner with excellent battery life, blazing fast charging, but also underwhelming overall system performance and a camera system that tries to do too much. So should you or should you not pull the trigger here? I believe you absolutely should, as the strong points outweigh the weaknesses, but with Amazon's Prime Day festival around the corner, there's clearly a good chance you'll be able to save more than 50 bucks soon.

Google might be cooking up something that'll feel oddly familiar to iPhone users
Google seems to be working on a new ecosystem feature that could finally bring true cross-device syncing to Android. Android's answer to Handoff is getting closer to reality The back-and-forth between Android and iOS is nothing new and this time, it is Google's turn to borrow an idea from Apple. According to a new report, Google is working on a feature similar to Apple's Handoff – and it could be available across all Android phones that have Google Play Services. The updated feature is designed for syncing across multiple Android devices, letting you do more than just share files. You will reportedly be able to sync notifications between devices (yes, finally beyond just Pixel and Galaxy phones), share media and even access apps from your primary device remotely on your other Android devices. If this sounds familiar, it is because Apple users already have something similar called Handoff. It allows tasks started in compatible apps to be picked up on another Apple device, as long as everything is signed in to the same iCloud account. Samsung has also done something like this with its own App Continuity setup, allowing file sharing, call answering, hotspot toggling and more between Galaxy devices. That said, the rollout for such a feature on Android is naturally slower. Unlike iOS, which only runs on Apple devices, Android has to work across tons of different brands, so tweaking cross-device features to fit them all takes a bit longer. Cross-device syncing could finally go Android-wide Google Play Services v25.25.31 beta includes the code hinting at the Handoff feature. | Image credit – Android Authority Evidence for the new Handoff feature was found in Google Play Services, which is a big deal – because it means this could be an Android-wide feature, not just something limited to Pixels or Samsung phones. If Google gets this right, the feature could, in theory, let you link a OnePlus phone, a Samsung tablet and a Pixel Watch and have them all work together – regardless of brand. Notifications, apps, media and files might all sync across your devices without needing to stay locked into one company's ecosystem. I say in theory because, of course, it is still early days, and we will have to see exactly how this all works once it officially rolls out. And if it does roll out, because Google has a history of testing features that don't quite hit the mark and ending up scrapping them. However, I am pretty sure this one won't be one of those. This is the kind of upgrade Android really needs I think features like Handoff are the kind of quality-of-life upgrades we should be seeing more often from big tech – not just another wave of flashy AI features, which have been dominating the conversation for well over a year now. And Google is actually in a good position to make that happen – it is behind Android, after all, the OS powering around 70% of smartphones globally. And to be fair, the company is clearly working on making Android better in real, everyday ways. And with Apple recently announcing iOS 26 – filled with subtle but very welcome quality-of-life improvements – it makes total sense that Google would want to highlight its own upgrades. This is a smart moment to remind users that Android is moving forward, too. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer

Poco F7 price leaks ahead of today's announcement
The Poco F7 is almost here – the big announcement is scheduled for later today. That said, Poco took a slightly weird approach with this launch and it sent us review units to unbox early – here is the Silver version and the Black version. Poco F7 in Silver and Black • Poco F7, F7 Pro and F7 Ultra Xiaomi has also officially confirmed the chipset inside the F7, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. Note that there will be two versions – one for India with a 7,550mAh battery and a global model with a 6,500mAh battery (both with 90W charging). One of the key details still to be confirmed officially is the price – here's an unofficial sneak peek. The global Poco F7 (12/256GB) will have an early bird price of $340 for the global market. A price for the Philippines also leaked: 12/256GB will be PHP 24,000, while a 12/512GB model will sell for PHP 26,000. The early bird offer will subtract PHP 3,000 and there should be a PHP 1,500 voucher. Leaked Poco F7 pricing For comparison, the Poco F7 Pro launched at $500, the F7 Ultra was $650 (both prices for a 12/256GB unit). The early bird pricing for both was $50 lower, so the F7 series early bird pricing goes like this: F7 for $340, F7 Pro for $450 and F7 Ultra for $600. Neither the F7 Pro nor the F7 Ultra are available in India, so we can't do a direct comparison. That said, $340 converts to ₹29,000 or so, meaning that a sub-₹30,000 price for the vanilla F7 seems likely – we will find out for certain later today. Source
